France after 1871, and Germany after 1919.
Hitler reclaimed Alsace and Lorraine for Germany during 1940. The provinces had originally belonged to Germany, but was taken away by the Treaty of Versailles following World War I.
France wanted Alsace-Lorraine back, as she had lost them during the 1870 Franco-Prussian War. The French Third Republic regained the territories when it sent troops to support an uprising there against the Germans in November 1918. The return of the Alsace-Lorraine region to French rule was formally recognized by the Treaty of Versailles.

Alsace and Lorraine
France. Alsace and Lorraine became part of France during the 1600's. In 1871, Germany fought a war with France and won, and part of the settlement was that Alsace and Lorraine would be given to Germany and called "Alsace-Lorraine". France was angry about it and wanted "revanche"- revenge. As part of the settlement of World War I, Alsace-Lorraine was given back to France.
